Methods: The mutation patterns related to resistance to nucleoside drugs were analyzed, and the relationships of resistance mutations with HBV genotypes, Ct value, HBeAg, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), age and gender were evaluated. Results: Genotype B was found in 52 patients (73.2%) and genotype C in 19 patients (26.8%). In addition, 32 patients (45.07%) had resistance mutations at different loci, of which single base mutation accounted for 56.25% (18/32) and multi-base mutation for 43.75% (14/32). Of single base mutation, L180M, M204I, M204V and V173L had higher prevalence, and the incidence of L180M was closely related to the genotype of HBV. L180M, M204I and M204V were associated with the resistance to lamivudine and telbivudine; L180M, M204I, M204V and V173L were associated with the resistance to entecavir; A181T, N236T and N/H238T were related to the resistance to adefovir. Of multi-base mutations, L180M combined M204V had a high prevalence and were frequently found in patients with resistance to lamivudine and telbivudine. There was cross-resistance between lamivudine and telbivudine, between lamivudine and entecavir, and between entecavir and telbivudine. The Ct value of HBV DNA, HBeAg, ALT, age and gender were comparable among patients with different resistance mutations and HBV genotypes. Conclusion: Detection of mutations of multiloci resistance genes is helpful for timely identification of HBV resistance and the clinical anti-virus therapy. Keywords: Hepatitis B virus, genotype, resistance mutation, nucleoside drugs Introduction Hepatitis B is a liver inflammatory disease caused by hepatitis B virus (HBV) and may cause injury to multiple organs [1]. Hepatitis B is a public health problem word wide and about 360 million people are infected by HBV. Liver cancer has been the fifth common malignancy worldwide and more than 1 million patients die of hepatitis B related disease or liver cancer. China has a high prevalence of hepatitis B [1, 2]. Thus, it is imperative to develop effective strategies for the therapy of hepatitis B. In the therapy of chronic hepatitis B, anti-virus treatment is crucial. Drugs used for anti-virus treatment are classified as interferons and nucleos(t)ide analogues. Currently, approved and commercially available anti-hbv nucleos(t) ide analogues in China include lamivudine, telbivudine, entecavir, adefovir and tenofovir. Nucleos(t)ide analogues may inhibit the polymerase activity of HBV to exert anti-viral effect [3, 4]. The long term and wide application of nucleos(t)ide analogues result in the occurrence of HBV resistance [5]. Hepatitis B patients with resistance to nucleos(t)ide analogues usually develop increase in viral load (an increment of HBV DNA by more than 100 IU/ml), elevation of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), persistent serum HBeAg positivity and clinical deterioration [4]. The resistance mutation related to nucleos(t) ide analogues usually found in the polymerase gene of HBV DNA ( region) [6]. Currently, there is a consensus on the nomenclature of resistance mutations: the amino acids from upstream to downstream in the region is named rt1 to rt344, and region is also classified as seven sub-regions: A, B, C, D, E, F and G. Mutation loci are mainly found in the A, B, C and
2 D sub-regions. The resistance of HBV is caused by the resistance mutations of bases in the region of HBV DNA due to long lasting therapy, the subsequent changes in the encoded amino acids and DNA polymerase structure and the nucleos(t)ide analogues failing to bind to DNA polymerase [7]. The presence of drug resistance may significantly compromise the efficacy of anti-viral therapy and deteriorate the disease condition [8, 9]. New mutations emerge with the wide and long term application of nucleos(t)ide analogues for HBV. Thus, long lasting, large scale and persistent monitoring of resistance mutations of HBV DNA is necessary [10]. In the present study, sequencing of region of HBV DNA, viral load detection and genotype analysis were done in 84 patients with hepatitis B in Guangzhou, aiming to investigate the patterns and characteristics of resistance mutations of HBV and explore the relationships of resistance mutations of HBV DNA with clinicopathologic parameters (genotype of HBV DNA, Ct value of HBV, HBeAg, ALT, age and gender). Our findings may be helpful for the understanding of common resistance mutations and mutation patterns of HBV, the identification of meaningful mutations and the rational therapy of hepatitis B, and also provide evidence for the delay or inhibition of drug resistance of HBV. Materials and methods atients Inpatients and outpatients with chronic hepatitis B who were treated with nucleoside drugs were recruited from the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University between July 2011 to May 2014, and serum was collected. The chronic hepatitis B was diagnosed according to the Guideline for the revention and Therapy of Chronic Hepatitis B (2010) [11], and anti-viral therapy was done with nucleos (t) ide analogues. Instruments and reagents Reagents: HBV and resistance mutation assay kit (Shanghai Shenyou Company), HBeAg assay kit (Zhongshan Biotech Co., Ltd), and ALT detection kit (Sekisui Medical Technology, Japan) were used in the present study. Instruments: 7500 fluorescence quantitative CR instrument, 3730 XL sequencer (ABI, USA), ML-FAME24/20 microplate reader (AusBio Co., Ltd) and AEROSET 2000 automatic biochemistry analyzer (Abbott) were used in the present study. Methods Detections of resistance mutations, genotypes and Ct values of HBV: Fluorescence quantitative CR and Sanger sequencing were performed according to the manufacturers instructions. Analysis of mutations: Results from Sanger sequencing were compared with the HBV DNA sequence obtained from GenBank, and the resistance mutations and mutation patterns were analyzed. Detection of ALT: Lactate dehydrogenase conjugate UA method was used for the detection of ALT according to the manufacturer s instructions. Detection of HBeAg: ELISA was employed for the detection of HBeAg according to the manufacturer s instructions. Collection of clinical information: The clinical information was collected from the electronic medical records system between July 2011 and May Statistical analysis Statistical analysis was performed with SSS version Quantitative data (HBV DNA Ct value, ALT) were compared with one sample K-S test. When data showed normal distribution, homogeneity of variance test was done; when homogeneity of variance was present, t test was employed. Qualitative data (resistance mutation, genotype, HBeAg) were compared with chi square test. Binary logistic regression analysis was employed for the evaluation of relationships of resistance mutations with genotypes, age and gender. A value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results Clinical information Of 84 patients with chronic hepatitis B, there were 67 males and 17 females with the male to female ration of 4:1. The mean age was ± years (range: years).

Results showed no significant relationships among them (>0.05) (Table 3). Loci of resistance mutations In 32 patients with chronic hepatitis B, single base mutations (n=18; 56.25%) and multi-base mutations (n=14; 43.75%) were found in the region of HBV DNA. Single base mutations included L180M, M204I, M204V, V207M, S213T, N/H238T, T184A, V214A, N236A, V173L, L180M/I, A181T, N236T and N/ H238T/A. Of these mutations, M204I had the highest detection rate, followed by L180M, M204V and V173L (Figure 1) Int J Clin Exp Med 2015;8(6):

Multi-base mutations were as follows: (1) L1-80M+M204I; (2) L180M+M204V; (3) V173L+ M204I; (4) L180M+M204V/I; (5) V173L+L1-80M+M204V; (6) L180M+T184A+M204V; (7) L180M+M204I/L; (8) L180M+M204V+S213T+ N/H238T+T184A; (9) L180M+M204I+V207M; (10) V214A+N/H238T; (11) M204I+N236A; (12) V173L+L180M/I+M204I+A181T+N236T. Of these mutations, L180M+M204V had the highest detection rate (Table 4). Of 4 single-base mutations with high detection rate, the incidence of L180M was 5.77% (3/52) in patients with genotype B and (7/19) in those with genotype C; the incidence of M204I was 32.69% (17/52) in patients with genotype B and 31.59% (6/19) in those with genotype C; the incidence of M204V was 1.92% (1/52) in patients with genotype B and 18.85% (3/16) in those with genotype C; the incidence of V173L was 1.92% (1/52) in patients with genotype B and 10.53% (2/19) in those with genotype C. Chi square test showed L180M resistance mutation was related to genotype (=0.003), 9634 Int J Clin Exp Med 2015;8(6):

Resistance mutations and nucleoside analogues In 71 patients, 43 (60.56%) were sensitive to lamivudine and telbivudine and 28 were resistant to lamivudine and telbivudine; 61 (85.92%) were sensitive to entecavir and 10 were resistant to entecavir; 64 (90.14%) were sensitive to adefovir and 7 were resistant to adefovir; all the patients were sensitive to tenofovir. Of 14 single-base mutations, L180M, M204I and M204V were related to the resistance to lamivudine, telbivudine and entecavir (<0.05); V173L was related to the resistance to entecavir (=0.05); A181T, N236T and N/H238T were related to the resistance to adefovir (<0.05) (Table 6). Cross-resistance between lamivudine and telbivudine, between lamivudine and entecavir, between telbivudine and entecavir, adefovir and telbivudine as well as between adefovir and entecavir was detected in 71 patients. Results showed there was cross-resistance between lamivudine and telbivudine, between lamivudine and entecavir as well as between telbivudine and entecavir (<0.05) (Table 7). Discussion HBV infection has geographic regional distribution and HBV in Chinese patients with chronic hepatitis B is characterized by genotypes A, B, C and D [12, 13] although the dominant genotype varies among regions. In the present study, fluorescence quantitative CR and Sanger sequencing were performed to detect the genotypes of HBV in 71 patients with chronic hepatitis B. Results showed genotype B was dominant genotype of HBV in Guangzhou and accounted for 73.2% (52/71), genotype C accounted for 26.8% (19/71), and other genotypes were not found, which were consistent with previously reported [12, 13]. Serum HBV DNA Ct value, ALT and HBeAg were comparable between patients with genotype B and those with genotype C, and age and gender had no relationship with HBV genotypes. Our study did not reveal the association between HBV genotype and resistance mutation, which might be ascribed to the small number of patients with genotype C Int J Clin Exp Med 2015;8(6):
7 With the increase in the number of patients with hepatitis B and the wide application of nucleoside analogues, the incidence of resistance mutations is changing. Our results showed the incidence of nucleoside analogues induced resistance mutations was at a high level and as high as 45.1% (32/71). These mutations could be classified as single-base mutation and multi-base mutation. Single-base mutation was dominant and accounted for 56.25% (18/32) and multi-base mutation accounted for 43.75% (14/32). Of single-base mutations, M204I had the highest incidence (71.88%), followed by L180M (31.25%), M204V (12.5%) and V173L (9.38%). Moreover, L180M resistance mutation was significantly related to HBV genotype: patients with genotype C had a higher risk for L180M as compared to those with genotype B. However, M204V, M404I and V173L were not associated with HBV genotype. Of multi-base mutations, L180M+M204V had the highest incidence 9.4% (3/32). The detection rate of mutations at rt207, rt213, rt214, rt237 and rt238 reduced, but that at rt169, rt194 and rt233 increased from August 2012 to now as compared to that from July 2011 t0 July 2012, which might be ascribed to the dynamic process of nucleoside analogues induced resistance mutations. Serum HBV DNA Ct value, ALT and HBeAg were comparable between patients with resistance mutations and those without resistance mutations, suggesting that the presence of resistance mutation may not immediately cause increase in viral load and elevation of ALT. In addition, age and gender had no associated with resistance mutations of HBV [14]. Our results showed all the patients with chronic hepatitis B in Guangzhou were sensitive to tenofovir, which may be related to more recent use of tenofovir in clinical practice. In addition, 90.14% and 85.92% of patients were sensitive to adefovir and entecavir, respectively. Of note, these patients had a consistently low sensitivity to lamivudine and telbivudine, which may be explained that both lamivudine and telbivudine are levo-nucleoside analogues and were approved for anti-viral therapy earlier than entecavir, adefovir and tenofovir. There is crossresistance among nucleoside analogues [15-18]. This study also investigated the crossresistance among 5 nucleoside analogues, aiming to provide evidence for the rational clinical use of nucleoside analogues. Results showed cross-resistance between lamivudine and telbivudine, between entecavir and lamivudine, and between entecavir and telbivudine in Guangzhou, indicating that combined therapy is necessary once resistance mutation is found in hepatitis B patients [19]. Clinicians should pay attention to the cross-resistance in hepatitis B patients [20]. revious studies showed the resistance mutations were different in patients treated with different nucleoside analogues [3, 21-24]. Our results showed, of 14 common single-base mutations in Guangzhou, L180M, M204I and M204V resistance mutations were related to resistance to lamivudine and telbivudine [25], and the presence of L180M resistance mutation was usually accompanied by M204V resistance mutation. Lamivudine and telbivudine have a similar structure and belong to levonucleoside analogues, and thus lamivudine and telbivudine induced resistance mutations are similar. L180M, M204I, M204V and V173L are the major resistance mutations caused by entecavir. revious studies reported the entecavir-induced resistance mutations were divided into two types: (1) rtm250v+rti169t+ M204V+L180M and (2) rtt184g+rts202i+rtm 204V+rtL180M. The entecavir induced resistance mutations include mutations of one or more amino acids at rttl84, rts202, rtm250 and rtil69 in the presence of mutations of rtm204+rtl180 [3, 21-24]. In the present study, results showed a new entecavir induced resistance mutation, V173L, but its clinical importance is required to be further elucidated. The adefovir induced resistance mutations mainly include A181T/S, N236T and N/H238T1 [26]. No resistance mutations were found to be associated with tenofovir [27, 28], which may be ascribed to more recent use of tenofovir in anti-viral therapy. V207M, S213T, T184A, V214A, N236A, L180M/I and N/H238T/A may be the secondary single-base mutations caused by lamivudine, telbivudine, entecavir, adefovir and tenofovir [3, 21-24, 29, 30]. A single mutation of them might has little influence on the resistance to nucleoside analogues, but the specific important is warranted to be studied in future investigations [31]. Of 12 common multi-base mutations in Guangzhou, L180M+M204V were 9636 Int J Clin Exp Med 2015;8(6):
8 mainly found in patients with resistance to lamivudine and telbivudine and accounted for 14.29% (4/28). A variety of studies revealed that M204V/I+L180M resistance mutations account for as high as 60% in patients with resistance to lamivudine [32]. Our results showed the incidence of M204V/I+L180M in patients with resistance to lamivudine was lower than previously reported, which may be attributed to the discrepancies in geographic regions and clinical use of nucleoside analogues. We also analyzed the correlations of L180M, M204I, M204V and L180M+M204V resistance mutations with the use of lamivudine, telbivudine and entecavir. Our results showed above 4 mutations in Guangzhou were related to the use of lamivudine, telbivudine and entecavir, which was consistent with the cross-resistance between lamivudine and telbivudine, between entecavir and lamivudine, and between entecavir and telbivudine. In the present study, we also found 4 new resistance mutations including N236A (N236T as its common mutation), N/H238T/A (N/H238T/D as its common mutation), V207M (V207I/L/G as its common mutation) and V173L. Studies have shown that the presence of N236A resistance mutation is accompanied by M204I, suggesting that N236A resistance mutation might be related to the resistance to lamivudine, telbivudine and entecavir. V207M resistance mutation also could cause clinical resistance to lamivudine, suggesting that V207M is a new resistance mutation related to the resistance to lamivudine. N/H238T/A resistance mutation could cause clinical resistance to adefovir, indicating that N/H238T/A is a new resistance mutation related to the resistance to adefovir; the resistance to entecavir was usually caused by multi-base mutations, and the common rtm204+rtl180 mutations were frequently found at one or more amino acids among rttl84, rts202, rtm250 and rtil69, suggesting that V173L is a new resistance mutation related to the resistance to entecavir. Thus, we speculate that N236A mutation may be associated with the resistance to lamivudine, telbivudine and entecavir, V207M mutation with the resistance to lamivudine, N/H238T/A mutation with the resistance to adefovir and V173L mutation may be a new multi-base mutation related to the resistance to entecavir. Further investigations are required to confirm the relationships between resistance mutations and phenotypic resistance. The large scale, long lasting clinical use of nucleoside analogues results in increase in resistance mutations over years. Thus, it is necessary to persistently monitor the resistance mutations of HBV. In future studies, the sample size will be enlarged, detection of resistance mutations will be done once resistance to nucleoside analogues is suspected in patients with hepatitis B, and patients will be followed up for a long time. Once new resistance mutations are found, in vitro experiments and bioinformatics will be employed to analyze the mutations and phenotypic resistance. Disclosure of conflict of interest None.
